Halo 5--Ranked Head To Head Mode Is Back, So You Can Prove Your Mettle In 1v1

Halo 5: Guardians is bringing back a fan-favorite mode this month, with Head to Head returning as a ranked playlist. The mode, which pits players against a single other Spartan in a one-on-one battle, went live for the first time on January 31, 2019, and has now returned.

Head to head is a round-based take on Slayer, made up of three rounds that are each first to five kills. As it's just you and one other player, it can be quite tense.

Also available now is the new Super Fiesta Party social playlist, which combines Super Fiesta and Husky Raid. The game is moving from two rotational social slot to one as well, which will rotate on a weekly basis.
